Very clean room and fantastic location, very walkable to campus if you are here for a school event! The laundry facilities were also great, and staff was very friendly and helpful. If you sleep hot like I do, I would recommend asking to use one of their fans, the AC isn't great, but that's to be expected in an older building.
